Wood Thrush

I walk along through forest greens
With Wood Thrush singing flute like songs
I stop to watch what I have seen
It is sitting on a branch, following me along
Cheerfully it sings, with music lifting me
With joy as if I am also in that tree
So clear this perfect day, a path I walk
I only have to listen, I don’t have to talk
Then I realize another is singing in tune
A sweet love song at the rise of noon

I love the musical flow of your poem Heidi... Beautifully penned, "songs of the seasons" is fine.

This was gorgeous Heidi. Not so much today but yesterday I had birds of all shapes and sizes hanging around my place, it was like nature's choir outside. Your poem is like that as well.
